12:45 - 13:00 | Keynote Speech

The role of flexible consumption in accelerating the cost-effective clean energy transition // EN

video

Europe is in an energy affordability crisis as well as a security-of-supply crisis. In this keynote talk, we’ll kick off the conference with a discussion on the impact of demand side flexibility—a largely untapped but reliable, climate-friendly, and cost-effective approach to a complex problem.

How can system operators ensure the development of effective markets and signals to take full advantage of demand-side flexibility potential?
